On Sept 27,
1997. I had been with my Husband for 10 yrs,
and loved him totally and completely. I had a good marriage, but he didn't think so.
I kept
hearing for months how he didn't love me anymore, so we kept trying to make it work. On
Sept 27 I asked my Husband to leave, it was the hardest thing I have ever done. But I knew
it was the right thing. We had agreed we would try to make it work, being apart for awhile.
He had gotten himself an apartment, and I found out a week after he moved out
that he had been
having an affair for 6 months. So after I found this out, we had words, and I filed for
divorce. My Husband had begged me for years to get the Internet in our home, but I was totally against it. So after he had moved out, and I knew it was over, I decided in October to get the Internet. I got hooked real fast, and met a lot of different people all over the USA. But on October 9, 1998, I met this wonderful guy in Virtual Places chat. I found out he lived in Illinois which is very close to me. He was kind of new to the chat thing, so I helped him thru some things. I introduced him to ICQ and VP chat. He couldn't figure out ICQ, so I gave him my phone number to help walk him thru it. That was the beginning of a meaningful relationship. He contacted me every night thru ICQ, and in VP, and after a month he asked me to meet him. I was hesitant, but finally I said sure why not, just as friends. So we met on Nov 21, 1998 2:00 PM at my house, and well, I got a little tipsy from drinking Vodka and OJ. I kept drinking after he arrived, and ended up passing out in my bathroom. I woke up and crawled to my sofa, where I slept until 8:30pm. When I woke up I felt really bad, and looked outside thinking he probably left, but his car was still there. I wandered into my bedroom, and that's where he was fast asleep with a baby blanket covering him. I was very embarrassed when he woke up. But he said don't worry about it, lets go out to dinner, so we went to a Mexican restaurant and had a wonderful dinner. When we got back to my house, I realized I had locked us out, so he had to break my kitchen window and crawl thru to unlock the door. By this time I figured this will be the first and last date, but to my surprise he wanted to spend Thanksgiving with me. So we spent 4 glorious days together. Enjoying each other and getting to know each other. Since Nov 21st we have spent every weekend together. He even took me to Minnesota for 4 days to meet his family. He plans on moving to Indiana the second week in March. We are so blissfully in love. I never thought I would ever find another man who I would love as much as I did my Ex-husband. But now I know the meaning of a Soulmate, and I have definitely found mine. |
